This book is a study of the English Reformation as a political and
literary event. Focusing on an eclectic group of texts, unified by
their explication of the key elements of the cultural history of
the period 1510-80 the book unravels the political, poetic and
religious themes of the era. Through readings of work by Edmund
Spenser, William Tyndale, Sir Thomas More and John Skelton, as well
as less celebrated Tudor writers, Betteridge surveys pre-Henrician
literature as well as Henrician Reformation texts, and delineates
the literature of the reigns of Edward VI, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth
I. Ultimately, the book argues that this literature, and the era,
should not be understood simply on the basis of conflicts between
Protestantism and Catholicism but rather that Tudor culture must be
seen as fractured between emerging confessional identities and
marked by a conflict between those who embraced confessionalism and
those who rejected it. This important study will be fascinating
reading for students and researchers in early modern English
literature and history. -- .
